I don't know where to get the sleeper crawl enlargened, but the state of Indiana comes to mind.
A Cummins C8.3 in frame rebuild costs about $7000 including turbo. These engines will typically run between 600-800k miles or more before needing the in-frame. Clue is to watch its water consumption- if it starts to drink water, it's time. The Cummins C8.3 should go much longer with regular maintenance than a CAT 3126 will go being babied- In my opinion (To avoid being sued for libel by Caterpillar:7 )
